It is very frequently observed that students sign up for higher studies with less interest or take is casually. Moreover, there are very few institutions in India who are giving quality inputs so as to instill the learning skills amongst students. Higher Education System in India compare to developing and developed countries needs considerable improvement. The percentage of students taking higher education is hardly about 13% whereas the same is varying between 28 to 90%, across the world. It is often heard that the Institutions must also concentrate on giving away quality inputs to the students. Institutions must look into constantly updating the syllabus in order to help students adapt with the changing market scenario. But our opinion is that efforts should also be taken to guide, mentor students and parents to develop and retain interest amongst students.
